Radio and Records, a weekly industry newspaper, reports that Roxette's "Wish I Could Fly" is the 29th most played song on adult contemporary (AC) radio stations this week. Billboard, widely viewed as the US chart authority, tends to lag behind Radio and Records, who compile their charts based solely on airplay statistics. The song's debut on R&R is a possible indicator, therefore, of what's coming up on Billboard. In Canada, where Roxette are signed to EMI, the song reached #67 on the AC chart.
